R3000

battery Product Quality and Customer Service:
It is good so far. Actually I did use Abatteryweb's service to request an exchange because

the first laptop battery had a

bad pixel at the lower right of the charger, which is not very obvious and I missed it when

I checked up the charger the first time. I email Abatteryweb the next day, and the service rep was is

in US, which is a good thing. He was quite friendly when I explained why I wanted an

exchange (I had 90 days to return anyway and there was no shipping charge). Then he gave me

a return number and helped me order the exact same system over the phone. The old one was

picked up the following day, which was Friday (06/18). The credit showed up on my credit

card 3 days later. That was pretty fast. Having heard of some complaints about their

customer service, one of my friends had put on hold for more than 40 minutes for a cable

modem question, and the reps were all Indians, guess those people are in charge of tech

problems. Sadly, although the replacement I received on 06/28 had no problem with laptop

Where to Buy
Abatteryweb Store sells through various retailers

nationwide, chances are you can find an R3000 model at one of the electronics dealers in your

neighborhood.  If you are looking for a good deal and configuration that you desire,

maybe Abatteryweb.com is a better choice. That way you can just spend some time clicking on

the mouse instead of driving around and putting more $$ into the gas tank. But if you are

really worried about the quality over price, I would suggest you buy one in store, at least

you can see if there is any problem before swiping the plastic!

Power supply and Battery
Before I bought this machine, I checked the other website and Googled for information

about the 346970-001

battery and processor. It appears this model of CPU is not exactly power saving, and

AMD didn't release the actual number of Watts the CPU consumes. Although I didn't expect it

to be working unplugged for very long, a 3-hour minimum would make me feel a lot better

than some of the older models' I’ve used with 1-2 hour battery life.
With a 12 cell module, it turned out the battery is quite satisfying. With light use of the

optical drive and constant web surfing and word editing the battery lasted around 3 hours

and 40 minutes. This is pretty decent for a desktop replacement model, as I heard that the

Dell Inspiron 9100

only lasts around 2 hours. So at least I can do something on the go without worrying

about the power outlet for quite a while. Like I said before, the adaptor is BIG, don't

understand why PC makers can’t make smaller adaptors like that of Apple Powerbook's kind.
